Report: Trump upbraids Netanyahu over Lebanon, asking, ‘What the f— are you doing?’

President Trump reportedly took Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to task during a Monday phone call over the latter’s military campaign in Lebanon.

Axios reported , citing two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call, that Trump called Netanyahu “crazy” and accused him of ingratitude.

At one point, Trump reportedly yelled at Netanyahu, “What the f— are you doing?”

Earlier Monday, Netanyahu ordered the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to strike Hezbollah targets in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut. Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in fighting since October 2023, despite a ceasefire that began in November 2024.

Officials in Iran, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, have said that Israeli strikes in Lebanon constitute a violation of the ceasefire that Washington and Tehran agreed to on April 7. Trump said Monday that talks between his administration and the Islamic Republic on a lasting peace are ongoing.

“The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Araghchi wrote Monday on the social platform X . “Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts. The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.”

After the phone call with Netanyahu, which he touted as “productive,” Trump said that no Israeli troops will head to Beirut .

“I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to go into a major raid of Beirut, Lebanon,” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform . “He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi!”
